Ink has always been a metaphor for the indelible imprint
of the human thought processes. The random strokes,
ligatures and cursive scripts lend themselves a free reign
within the restricted bounds of expressive space.

RandomInk began as a nebulous idea to provide a forum for
free exchange of ideas and a place to interact. It began to
take shape when a domain of discussion had been conceived,
yet paradoxically, the rigid determinism was discarded once
the structure was in place. RandomInk thus aims to provide a
whiteboard – a discussion house and perhaps with the passage
of time something more.

The Members behind RandomInk are involved in the Free/Open Source
Software Movement, being part of various groups and organizations
involved in the same. But the vision for this space is not limited
to the 'software' part in 'Free Software'. It attempts to gauge and
measure the various ramifications and connotations of the 'free'
aspect of 'freedom'. Discussions tend to theme around the
epistemology of the word, the democratic principles and the economic
mandates that drives social interactions.

Currently, it has Planet FLOSS India.
Based on the concept of aggregating newsfeeds from those who write about,
develop in and in general believe in the Free/Open Source Movement,
Planet FLOSS India is a mirror into the paradigm of software development
that is slowly but surely making vital inroads on the Indian software mien.

Blogs@RandomInk presents the public
blog space on RandomInk. Allowing the viewer to create an account and thus put
up various threads of conversation, Blogs@RandomInk is the preliminary form of
the core idea of RandomInk.

The Mailing Lists are currently
not been utilized and RandomInk is on the lookout for proposals which require a
mailing list to be put in place.
